Native Rituals Tattoo of Oak Forest, IL is now a Tatt2Away Studio Center

Native Rituals Tattoo

OAK FOREST, Ill., May 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Rejuvatek Medical Inc., officially announces the Tatt2Away(R) non-laser tattoo removal system is now available for the first time in the greater Chicago area with Native Rituals Tattoo's Jimmy V Regalado and Randy Willard. Their Oak Forest location has come on board to offer to all its clientele certified tattoo removal as the first Tatt2Away Center in the state. Bringing into their high quality of service and products, the all natural system.

"We did our research," said Jimmy. "Becoming a Tatt2away Studio Center for us took us a while, but ... Tatt2Away was the only viable option for a studio to offer removing tattoos for cover ups."

Studios know that a large part of business are the past mistakes, the fading, old ink and 'backyard' artwork. You need a cost effective way, to take care of that ink, while gaining the additional income that bringing tattoo removal into the studio can bring.

"Because cover ups can limit to what you can do as an artist," Randy concluded, "Tatt2Away gives us and our customers unlimited options when it comes to the better art they ask of us."

Rejuvatek Medical is placing around the nation Tatt2Away systems offering a limited exclusivity to those tattoo studios that see the opportunity first and act on it. For more information, go to http://studios.tatt2away.com or contact Rejuvatek Medical, Inc. at 855-252-2929 or submit a request form from the web site.

Take Action: Interest Free Money is Every U.S. Citizen’s Constitutional Right

Interest Free Banking

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Feb. 17, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Website author and creator, Michael Piontkowski, also known as Piont, recently launched InterestFreeBanking.com to get the word out on how every U.S. citizen can convert all their debt-interest money loans into zero percent, interest-free money loans.

"What people don't know is that their U.S. citizenship constitutionally qualifies them for interest-free money," Piont says. "They can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by not having to pay interest on home mortgages, auto and other vehicle loans, personal and business loans, credit cards, student loans and more."

Piont's website reveals that U.S. citizens' constitutional right to interest-free money was first established by President Abraham Lincoln. He also shows that the God of the Holy Bible told His people not to use debt-interest money. The God of the Holy Bible had His people using interest-free money as documented in Exodus 22:25; Deuteronomy 23:19-20; and Ezekiel 18:13.

"What we're actually doing is mocking and blaspheming the God of the Holy Bible by putting the motto: 'IN GOD WE TRUST' on our money: our debt-interest money," Piont says. "But there's a way that America's Christians can stop the public mocking and blaspheming of their God during this 2016 election."

Piont proposes that U.S. citizens can take action and take back ownership of their U.S. Government's money printing presses by passing the Abraham Lincoln Banking Act. This will restore President Lincoln's godly and constitutional interest-free money as the U.S. money supply. How? It's very straight forward.

"The plan is simple," explains Piont. "People can spread the name and news of this website over social networks and by word-of-mouth. They can also contact their U.S. congressman or congresswoman and two U.S. senators to instruct them to pass The Abraham Lincoln Banking Act."

Piont makes it quick and easy for people to contact their elected representatives on his website.

"Isn't it way past time people made their U.S. government work for them instead of against them?" Piont asks. "If given the choice, why would someone choose debt-interest money over zero-percent money? Just think about that."

First of Its Kind National Study Examines Economic, Social, and Fiscal Impacts of State Prevailing Wage Laws

State Prevailing Wage Laws

CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 9, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As policy debates rage in states from Michigan and New Hampshire to New Mexico and West Virginia, researchers from the Illinois Economic Policy Institute, Colorado State University-Pueblo, and Smart Cities Prevail have just completed the first ever national study on the economic, social, and project cost impacts of state prevailing wage laws.

Prevailing wage laws govern the wage rates paid to construction workers on government-funded public works projects.

The Report, entitled "The Economic, Fiscal, and Social Impacts of State Prevailing Wage Laws: Choosing Between the High Road and the Low Road in the Construction Industry," utilizes industry standard IMPLAN modeling software and industry comparisons between states with and without prevailing wage laws to assess the impact of these policies on a variety of economic and social factors: including job creation, wages, worksite productivity, rates of in-state contracting, impacts on taxpayers, reliance on government assistance programs, and effects on communities of color and veterans.

A Fact Sheet Summarizing the Report's Findings May be Found Here: http://www.smartcitiesprevail.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Report-Fact-Sheet-for-the-Impacts-of-State-Prevailing-Wage-Laws.2016FINAL.pdf .

The Full Report May be Downloaded Here: http://www.smartcitiesprevail.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/PW-national-impact-study-FINAL2.9.16.pdf .

"Our study confirms that states without prevailing wage laws not only undermine workmanship, productivity, and workforce development programs that promote construction career pathways for racial minorities and veterans, but millions more is spent in these states on food stamps, EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit), and public forms of insurance for low income blue-collar construction workers, with smaller overall economic output, higher income inequality, and millions less in tax revenue," said study co-author and Colorado State University Economist Kevin Duncan. "If all the states with prevailing wage laws in place were to repeal, they could expect to see similar trends, with 400,000 lost jobs, a $65 billion reduction in our national economy, and a loss of $8 billion in tax revenue."

The report also examines - for the first time - the existing body of research that has been presented on both sides of the issue related to the impact of prevailing wage policies on overall project costs. In doing so, it makes an important distinction between research that has undergone peer review, and that which has not, concluding that 75 percent of recent peer-reviewed studies find that construction costs are not affected by prevailing wages.

"Our research shows that the debate around the cost impact of prevailing wage policies, in many ways, mirrors the debate on policy questions like climate change - where some policy makers rely on ideological bias or an incomplete understanding of an industry to promote conclusions that are simply not supported by academic consensus," said study co-author Alex Lantsberg. "We found that the non-peer reviewed studies that suggest cost savings from prevailing wage repeal tend to focus exclusively on wage differences, which ignore the fact that prevailing wage standards dramatically reduce material and fuel expenditures and reliance on taxpayer-funded welfare assistance, while increasing worksite productivity."

This study follows individual, peer-reviewed state analyses that Duncan, Lantsberg, and Manzo completed last year amidst state battles over construction wage policies in Wisconsin, Michigan, and California.

While Wisconsin voted to severely weaken its prevailing wage standard, California moved to strengthen its laws and a citizen petition to force a repeal in Michigan failed. Proponents of repeal in Michigan have vowed to mount a similar petition drive again in 2016.

"In many ways, our research shows why state-level prevailing wage standards were first introduced by Republicans, and have long enjoyed bi-partisan support from leaders as ideologically diverse as California Governor Jerry Brown and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan," added study co-author Frank Manzo IV. "To be sure, there are financially motivated interests on both sides of this issue, but the facts clearly argue for prevailing wage policies as the best bet for taxpayers, workers, businesses, and the economy as a whole."

The Illinois Economic Policy Institute is a non-partisan research and education nonprofit focused on issues affecting Illinois and the Midwest, including infrastructure investment and the construction industry.

Dr. Kevin Duncan, Ph.D. is a Professor of Economics in the Hasan School of Business at Colorado State University - Pueblo and Senior Economist at BCD Economics, LLC. Over the last 30 years, Duncan has become one of the nation's foremost experts on the impact of prevailing wage policies, testifying before numerous legislative committees, advising government agencies, and publishing dozens of peer reviewed studies and over 40 public policy papers on the subject.

Midwest Fuel Injection Announces Paul Thoms Promoted to President

Midwest Fuel Injection Service

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Jan. 25, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As of January 1, 2016, Midwest Fuel Injection Service Corporation (MWFI), which operates under the Seidel Diesel Group, has a new president - Paul Thoms.

Thoms has spent the last 30 plus years working his way through the diesel industry. After graduating from Denver Automotive Diesel College, he worked as a technician for Dynamic Diesel Service in Elk Grove Village, Ill.

In 1992, Thoms was hired as the shop manager for MWFI's Orland Park facility. Three years later, he helped open the Palatine Branch and became branch manager. Over the next 15 years, he was instrumental in its successful start-up and growth.

When MWFI moved to Bolingbrook in 2005, Thoms served as branch manager. In 2010, he was promoted to general manager; in 2012 he was promoted to vice president.

"This promotion is an opportunity for Midwest Fuel Injection to recognize the significant contribution that Paul has provided to our company," states Ben Seidel, Midwest Fuel Injection's CEO. "Paul's strong technical background and leadership skills, complemented by his strength and knowledge of diesel service markets, will help Midwest Fuel Injection continue to grow and succeed," Seidel adds.

His career in the diesel industry is nearly as impressive as his commitment to volunteerism, professionally and personally. He has been a technical committee member with the Association of Diesel Specialists (ADS) since 2003 and was the ADS technical committee chairman from 2005-2014. He has also been an ADS board member and most recently became an ADS officer and will be on its executive board as incoming treasurer.

On a personal note, he has spent many years as a head soccer coach for the Arlington Heights Park District; has been a stewardship member at St. John UCC and was also on the St. John UCC Search Committee.

While making his way through Denver Automotive and Diesel College, he received the "Perfect Attendance" as well as a "Leadership" Award. He was also the proud recipient of the "Henry Ortner Jr. Memorial Technical Award," established in 1982 to honor the first technical advisor of the Association of Diesel Specialists. This award is presented to an individual or company that has provided constant and diligent technical service to both the industry and ADS.

With this reorganization, Bernd Seidel, co-founder and shareholder, will assume the role of CEO.

New Dining Segmentation Provides Targeted Solutions for Local Restaurant Marketing

Consumer IntelliBase

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Cogensia, a data-driven marketing firm, recently launched a breakthrough restaurant marketing solution - Dining Segments. The segments categorize U.S. households based on eight of the most popular dining categories. The segmentation places every consumer into different profiles based on hundreds of demographic, survey, lifestyle and interest data elements. The segments are applied to all 120 million households in Cogensia's Consumer IntelliBase and are available for email and direct mail targeting.

"We are excited to release Dining Segments to help restaurants drive more traffic from new customers," Brad Rukstales, Cogensia president and CEO, says. "Dining Segments allow marketers to maximize their budget by targeting the consumers most likely to dine at their restaurant."

And, when marketers can specifically target dining categories, they receive higher response rates, higher average tickets and increased traffic. The eight dining categories are: White Table Cloth, Grilled & Seared, Bar & Grill, Bon Appetito, Quick & Casual, Pizza Lovers, Sweet Tooth and Caffeinated Breakfast. A consumer will be identified in one or more categories based on what is known about their behaviors.

When the average household spends $2,625 dining out, just $51 on average per week, this leaves many restaurateurs competing for the same dollars. Dining Segments allow marketers to easily identify and target specific consumers in their area.

"In fact, Dining Segments give restaurateurs the ability to take action and target local consumers who are dining at the competition," Rukstales adds.

For example, a fine dining restaurateur headquartered in Chicago sought to drive traffic to his 50 national locations. The fine dining profile (White Table Cloth) identified that there were one million U.S. households that valued the upscale service of white table cloth venues. These discerning guests typically order a bottle of wine, prefer a formal atmosphere, value healthy options and have an average check of more than $100.

Using Cogensia's IntelliList Audience Selector tool, this restaurateur entered the 50 location zip codes and defined his search to within a 5-mile radius. Instantly, he was able to identify 71,000 fine dining households within his market to target with a specialized offer and drive guests to his establishments. The response rate based on this target selection was 1.9 percent. The results drove 27 new tables per location, almost one per night. The cost of the program was only $566 per location, and generated almost $3,000 profit at each restaurant.

This customer also realized cost savings. Traditional marketing included media buys, print advertisements and social media promotion. Dining Segments identified the exact audience they wanted to reach for a fraction of the cost.

"Dining Segments are a leading-edge restaurant marketing tool. It's designed to help restaurant marketers with local marketing, and to drive traffic to the restaurant the same day that the email marketing message is sent," Joel Schiltz, Cogensia's senior vice president and COO, says. "There's just nothing else that provides the restaurant industry with such specific details about household dining preferences and behaviors."

Flame Guard USA introduces the world’s only non-pressurized fire extinguisher, X-Tinguish

X-Tinguish fire extinguisher

LAKE BARRINGTON, Ill., July 14, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Flame Guard USA (www.flameguardusa.com), a leader in Fire Suppression Innovation, officially released its new Fire Extinguisher product line, X-Tinguish(R) (www.x-tinguish.com). The X-Tinguish fire extinguisher is the World's only non-pressurized fire extinguisher. The units are patented and are a powerful tool that can be used for all walks of life including home, car, boat, motorcycle, industry and for commercial use.

How do they work? In simple terms, fill a balloon with air and then let the air out. The elasticity of the balloon itself forces the air out. Now, make the balloon out of space age silicone, increase its thickness and fill it mechanically. Add a cutting edge release system, a plastic bottle and there you have it. The New X-Tinguish(R) Fire extinguisher utilizes maximum stored potential energy to unleash its suppressant via a release of kinetic energy. The World's First and only non-pressurized fire extinguisher, X-Tinguish(R).

This new extinguisher is revolutionary in many aspects. The system is incredibly safe for humans and the environment. It is the first to utilize the principles of stored energy to deliver the goods. It does not require pressurization. It contains zero compressed gases and does not require a cartridge. It has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). It is 100 percent non-toxic and non-corrosive and will fully extinguish a stove top fire in a few seconds without the mess normally associated with a fire extinguisher or more importantly, the fear of re-ignition. The light weight and small size of the unique fire extinguishers allow them to be stored nearly anywhere for a fast response. They do not require a class to be able to use them. If you can use a spray can, you can use X-Tinguish(R).

Jim Mackey, partner at Flame Guard USA states: "This product is a unique, new technology to an old product."

The X-Tinguish(R) unit can be operated at a full 360-degrees. This means that whatever position the bottle is positioned at, just point it at the fire, press the release valve (smaller units) or pull the trigger (larger unit) and it will work 100 percent of the time. It is manufactured to maintain its streaming power for at least three years. Another great feature is you do not have to use the entire bottle in one shot. You can spray a few times and use it again later. It will retain its power for the next use.

"When we saw this design, we said we have to make this available to the United States," says Joe Kuesis, partner Flame Guard USA.

The entire unit, once used, is 100 percent recyclable. You can put it in the weekly recyclables when you dispose of the trash. There is no danger of the bottle exploding. Product videos show the unit being pierced and only leaking: http://www.x-tinguish.com/#!video/ceon .

You cannot do this with any other fire extinguisher today. The X-Tinguish(R) fire extinguisher is the only extinguisher safe enough to travel on an airplane. X-Tinguish(R) has been tested thoroughly in 3rd party labs internationally to standards such as UL 711.

About Flame Guard USA:

Flame Guard USA, is an industry leader in fire suppression through Innovation. Flame Guard USA's flagship products include the Original Condensed Aerosol for fighting fires, GreenSol and the Brand New Handheld unit utilized by firefighters and First responders, The X-Tinguish FST (Fire Suppression Tool). Flame Guard USA offers patented technology to be used by hundreds of individuals and organizations worldwide in the consumer, government, manufacturing, transportation and maritime sectors to cost-effectively deliver fire suppression and extinguishment solutions in high volume to their customers. Flame Guard USA provides support for its products, as well as provide solutions for custom fire suppression development for manufacturers and industries in need of an innovative approach to OEM.

X-Tinguish(R) is a registered trademark of Flame Guard USA.

RCRA hazardous waste regulations

CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 9 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Fines and penalties are on the rise for facilities that fail to comply with Federal and State hazardous waste rules.
